Gold Star father: Trump's words misconstrued

The media didn't politicize this, Trump did, by bringing Obama into the conversation for no reason.

Maybe the President of the United States should be better at conveying his meaning.... but sure, we can blame the widow. It isn't like she is distressed or anything.

Note to POTUS - next time go to Dover instead of playing golf. Actions speak louder than words. Do it as discreetly as possible, or you'll be accused of grandstanding. The word will get out and so will the pictures. You'll get a different outcome and won't have to say anything more, other than acknowledging their deaths and offering condolences. All the rest is he said she said, Obama did it this or didn't do that. I have to wonder if anyone advised him to go to Dover i.e. Pence, Kelly, Mattis, McMaster. If not, why not? He's not a politician or military so it's their job if they care. If so, and he declined, maybe he'll learn from it for next time. It didn't play out well, with a lot of help from media, and was mostly avoidable if handled right. Maybe he'll eventually figure it out.
